India seek a record medal haul despite a chaotic build-up, including the slashing of their contingent and last-minute pull out of top athletes.

Few of the country's biggest medal hopes won't be in action at Incheon. Star boxer Vijender Singh is out with an injury, while two-time Olympic medal-winning wrestler Sushil Kumar and India's number one tennis player Somdev Devvarman have opted to concentrate on other competitions.

But despite all the problems, India are bullish about their prospects at the Asian Games, a 36-sport event which opened on September 19.
